1999 Ford Focus LX review from UK and Ireland
"I would recommend this car to anyone"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The diesel glow plugs were on the way out.
The boot release function had a major fault. I could only open it with the key in the end.
General comments?
I loved this car, even though it was a diesel.
The acceleration was excellent, and the ride was fantastic when cornering or on country lanes, considering how I was driving!
The only problem I had with this car is that it didn't have Air Conditioning, otherwise I would have kept it for a lot longer.
I put a lot of mileage on it (25000) in 5 months, and it has stood up very well.
This has changed my mind about diesels - fantastic fun!
